Survey: < 1% of Young Adults Hold Biblical Worldview

[Photosmith]

Some rather sobering but not tremendously unexpected news reported by The Christian Post.

Less than one percent of the youngest adult generation in America has a biblical worldview, found a new study examining the changes in worldview among Christians and the overall U.S. population.

The Mosaic generation, those between the ages of 18 and 23, “rarely†have a biblical worldview as defined by The Barna Group. The research data found that less than one-half of one percent of Mosaics have a biblical worldview.

A biblical worldview, as defined by the Barna study, is believing that absolute moral truth exists; the Bible is completely accurate in all of the principles it teaches; Satan is considered to be a real being or force, not merely symbolic; a person cannot earn their way into Heaven by trying to be good or do good works; Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth; and God is the all-knowing, all-powerful creator of the world who still rules the universe today.

Only if someone held all the above beliefs did the research consider the person as having a biblical worldview.

How many times in OT did we see the phrase that a generation arose that did not know the Lord? It appears that America is raising up a generation that does not know the Lord. Generally bad things happen in such a time.

That is unfortunate that such a low percentage of this age group and likely younger are not coming to know their Lord and Savior. It is truly regretable...making me all the more grateful for my folks.

Makes me wonder what the percentage is for my generation, I'm a GEN-XER. I thought we had a bleak out look, but maybe thats the problem we are now teaching the new generation.

I watched this thing on A&E a few months back where they were asking people who Jesus was. I was just appalled how many people in our streets they interviewed didn't know who Jesus is. And the responses given would have just amazed you who they thought HE was. Made me want to roll up in a ball and cry for them.....so sad.
